Wear non-slip shoes! Some sections of the Sawtooth Cliff are steep 2. Make reservations for the cruise in advance (it is easy to be full on weekends) 3. There is no signal on the Beishan Road trail, so it is recommended to walk in groups 4. Be careful about fire prevention at campsites and take away your trash 💬Conclusion💬 The beauty of Jinhai Lake is multi-layered - you can have a lazy picnic on the lawn of Bi Bo Island, or feel the thrill of conquest on the Sawtooth Cliff; you can go boating to enjoy the lake and tower shadows, or take Instagram blockbusters in front of the painted dam. This treasure trove in the suburbs of Beijing is worth a whole day to explore slowly~🚣♀️🍃
